一位印度人眼中的中国：一对比就彻底输了！

In public spaces and in conversation， the Chinese are as noisy as us but there is none of our mindless honking.

在公共场合和谈话中，中国人和我们一样聒噪，但是他们不会发出没有意义的鸣响。

Like us they also revere， if not quite worship， money. The Chinese entrepreneurial base is not restricted either by geography or caste， unlike ours. This is one aspect of why their economic success has a broader base than ours.

和我们一样，中国人也很尊重钱，虽然不是崇敬。中国的企业基础不会被地理或者种姓制度限制，不像我们。这也是为什么中国的经济能够获得更大的成功。

China has many negatives. Above all， an authoritarian state intolerant of dissent and a one-party political system. I could not bear to live here as a citizen， a place offering relief and choice in neither ideology not candidates.

中国也有很多负面。**国家偏执地使用****的****。我不能忍受在这样的地方生活，一个在意识形态和候选人方面都没有选择的地方。

Yes， the state is effective and it penetrates. But I suspect the state in China also penetrated during most of the different historical eras and systems， including monarchy.

国家非常高效也善于渗透。我想中国在许多其他历史时期也都是一样的，包括君主政体。

India compares its economic growth and achievements to China’s. It shouldn’t. This isn’t a race and no prize will be awarded. If it was， we have lost and are losing. The talk when I left India was about overtaking China’s current growth rate. The real figure to race against would be China’s growth rate when their economy was the size of ours (it is four times bigger today). At that point they were clocking double-digit annual growth in metronomic fashion.

印度经常拿自己的经济发展和中国相比。但事实上很不应该。这不是一项比赛，也无法得奖。如果真的是一场比赛，那么我们已经输了并且还在继续输。在我离开印度前，我们所说的是超过中国的发展速度。现在中国的经济发展速度是我们的四倍。他们的经济增长率已经达到了两位数。
